Rumors are flying in the wake of the vacancies on the American Idol judges panel, and one that’s made the rounds this week is that country star Brad Paisley is being “seriously consider[ed]” for the part.

Kelly Clarkson sounded off on who her choice for the next Idol judge would be, although in an exclusive interview with WSOC in Charlotte, Carrie Underwood says of being a judge, “I would cry.” Listen to the interview here.

Kevin Costner seems to be on the same page as Carrie. Not that he would cry, but just that he couldn’t be that critical. “When I audition actors [for movies] when I direct, I swear to God, I want them all to get the part. I want people to succeed,” he explained in a recent interview. To hear more of Costner’s comments on the singing competition show, check out the full interview Costner did with US99.5 in Chicago.
